This report relates to 1 case(s)

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has held that the requirement to assess the safety risks to a pregnant employee is met by recording the risks then passing on the findings of the assessment orally to the employee.

In Stevenson v JM
Skinner & Co EAT/0584/07, the EAT held that an employer complied with its
statutory duty to carry out a risk assessment in relation to a pregnant
employee when it addressed her concerns at meetings with her and, taking
account of all the circumstances, evaluated and agreed the relevant risks.
